Chapter 302 - [Bonus ] Punched In The Face
Madam Yao who rushed forward with a mouthful of curses to hurl at the person who disturbed her morning sleep suddenly went obedient when her hazy gaze cleared and her eyes fell on the noblewoman who was standing in front of her. Commoners were most afraid of dealing with nobles, thus, Madam Yao who was used to bullying the women of the village suddenly went quiet as she looked at the woman who was standing outside with a friendly smile on her face, well that was what Madam Yao thought as the woman's face was stretched like she was smiling behind the fan that she was holding in her hand. However, the smile somehow made her petrified, she couldn't even breathe properly under the noble aura excluded by the woman and hardly dared to utter a peep.
Like a good child, Madam Yao put away her little arrogance aside and asked with a polite smile " La-lady can I help you with something ?"
Madam Zhu heard looked down at Madam Yao and arched an eyebrow, was this woman scared of her? Did she take her as a noblewoman or something? Madam Zhu laughed, in the Shen family every child born was nothing short of being boorish and foul-mouthed, so the idea of her being a noblewoman was laughable but of course, she was part of the rich women society and knew a little bit more about manners and how to hold oneself in the presence of others, especially when she wanted to pressurise them.
" as a matter of fact, you can," said Madam Zhu as she leaned uncomfortably closer to Madam Yao as she whispered like a soft siren " go and bring Wang Mo out, tell him that his benefactors with whose grace he was able to build such a big house are here.? Tell him to come out and entertain us, this is the least he could do in regards to the compassion that my husband gave him"
It was, only then did Madam Yao's gaze fell on the mountainous Shen Junxi who was standing beside Madam Zhu with an ugly scowl as he looked down at her with his arms crossed. Just one look at his scarred face and abominable face, made Madam Yao legs go jelly - she didn't know who Madam Zhu was or who the man in front of her was but she did know that her husband double-crossed his benefactor and that was how he was able to accumulate this much wealth.
The fact that these benefactors came knocking on their door could only mean one thing, they knew that her husband betrayed them. Nothing about the arrival of these two great Buddha's was great, so she hurriedly looked at them with a troubled expression and said softly " oh, Madam you are here to look for my husband but he is not here. He left for the city a few days ago, why don't you come after four - no five days, he will be back in five days -"
"She is lying my lord!" the village woman who returned after calling a group of women with her, shouted loudly refuting Madam Yao at once. She didn't want to miss this chance of teaching the arrogant Wang family a lesson, so she had no qualms about breaking the pot at once and making her already hostile relationship even more hostile with Madam Yao " Wang Mo is in the house, my husband saw him just the last night he came from the town pitch drunk, how can he leave the village in such a condition?"
Madam Yao who was caught immediately glared at the village woman like she wanted to swallow her alive but she had no time to fight with that stupid woman. Taking advantage of the fact that Madam Zhu and Shen Junxi were distracted she tried to close the door but before she could do it, Shen Junxi intercepted the door with his foot while Madam Zhu pushed open the door with her fan.
Madam Yao was startled, she never thought that the woman in front of her with her tiny stature would be able to push such a heavy door with just her fan.
However, what Madam Yao didn't know was that Madam Zhu's parents passed away when she was very young. This iron lady was the only one who raised her brother and herself all on her own, so it wasn't surprising that her physical strength was far surpassing any ordinary woman. If not she wouldn't be able to attract Shen Junxi's attention with just a pretty face.
" did you not hear me?" said Madam Zhu softly, her voice was barely audible but somehow Madam Yao heard every word of hers," I asked you to bring Wang Mo out, you better do that or else I don't know what I might do... You see I don't like traitors"
' they know! They know what we have done' This was the only thought running in Madam Yao's head as she stared at the devil-like couple in front of her. She didn't know what to do but she only knew that she needed to run away, she better run away before these two make her and her husband responsible for what they did.
" I- I will get him," said Madam Yao as she stood up, whatever she will just escape from the backdoor with Wang Mo once she gets away from these two. Hah!
" oh and " like a devil's whisper, Madam Zhu's voice came from behind her " don't even think about running from the backdoor, or else I and my husband might have to thrash everything in the house to calm our anger"
"You better bring Wang Mo, out in ten minutes or I will come inside," added Shen Junxi just in case the woman didn't understand his wife's words.
Madam Yao stumbled but she still rushed inside without even bothering to look behind her, these two people - they were really the devil!
Madam Yao rushed inside their bedroom and shook Wang Mo up but the latter was so drunk after last night that he couldn't even open his eyes much less wake up. In the end, Madam Yao dumped an entire jug of water on top of her husband,? only then the latter woke up.
" what- what in the blazes are you doing? " Wang Mo sputtered, as he wiped his face. It was freezing cold and yet this stupid woman dumped such cold water on his face, was she trying to kill him?
" wake up! You good for nothing, your so-called benefactor have come knocking on our doors, they are asking for you! Tell me what in the blazes should I do?" snapped Madam Yao, when she married Wang Mo she was one of the most beautiful women in the village yet she was sent to the Wang family because her Yao family had no money to raise her. She always thought that she was the superior one among the two and never bothered to keep control of her tongue in front of her husband, she would say whatever she wanted to say when she wanted to scold her husband without even thinking twice.
" you - what did you say ?" Wang Mo couldn't hear anything else he only heard one thing and that was that his benefactors were here, he was so stunned that he jumped from the Kang and rushed out " what are you waiting for? Pack up our savings and let's run!"
" We can't, your benefactors said that if we don't come out within ten minutes they will thrash our house! This house is my son's dowry, I'm telling you no one is going to touch this house, anyway, this is your mess so you deal with it " Madam Yao didn't like her husband but she adored her son, so she didn't mind being ruthless to her husband. She knew that Madam Zhu and Shen Junxi were not kidding when they said they will thrash her house, so she dragged her husband outside without bothering to listen to his nonsense.
" lord - lady.? This is my husband, I brought him here so please don't thrash our house. My son - my eight-year-old son is still sleeping inside " pushing Wang Mo in front of Shen Junxi, Madam Yao politely requested she no longer dared to put on any scheme anymore.
Shen Junxi didn't pay attention to her instead he ambled towards Wang Mo and said languidly " long time no see brother Wang?"
Wang Mo bit his lips, how he wished he was dreaming but he knew he wasn't, so he shuddered as he tried to smile and answered" yes?"
And that was when Shen Junxi punched him with an angry roar like that and of a bull.
